Hide Rollout

The Hide rollout provides controls that let you hide and unhide individual objects by selecting them, regardless of their category.

You can also hide and unhide objects using the Display Floater and with the Display quadrant of the viewport right-click quad menu.

Interface

Hide Selected: Hides the selected objects.
Hide Unselected: Hides all visible objects except the selected ones. Use this to hide all objects except the one you're working on. Objects hidden by category aren’t affected.
Hide by Name: Displays a dialog you use to hide objects you choose from a list. SeeSelect From Scene, which describes nearly identical controls.
Hide by Hit: Hides any object you click in the viewport. If you hold down the Ctrl key while selecting an object, that object and all of its children are hidden. To exit Hide By Hit mode, right-click, press Esc, or select a different function. This mode is automatically turned off if you hide all objects in the scene.
Unhide All: Unhides all hidden objects. The unhide buttons are available only when you have specifically hidden one or more objects. They won't unhide objects hidden by category.

Note: If you click Unhide All in a scene with hidden layers, a dialog will pop up prompting you to unhide all layers. You cannot unhide an object on a hidden layer.
Unhide by Name: Displays a dialog you use to unhide objects you choose from a list. See Select From Scene, which describes nearly identical controls.

Note: If you select an object on a hidden layer, a dialog will pop up prompting you to unhide the object's layer. You cannot unhide an object on a hidden layer.
Hide Frozen Objects: Hides any frozen objects. Turn it off to display hidden frozen objects.
